A blithering, heavy handed indictment of capitalism, 2 stars because the art was phenomenal.

Bit of a let down. The art and design is amazing, but the story is fairly simple and trite. There was a little bit of an emotional connection in the third act, but it was a too little, too late for me.

This is a ridiculous and fun conceptualising of vague anticapitalism and renewable energy with weird robots, lots of explosions, and found family.

I'll maybe have more thoughts when I have more brain, but I had a really good time with this.

Ghost cage was way to condensed, which is disappointing since it had the potential to be an interesting story. The characters needed more time to develop, the plot was thin but had high concept ideas like—a robot powered by what I think must be energy of dead souls? But I say that with a question because I’m still not sure. If this were expanded into a sci fi action manga series, it would be a lot of fun. But 3 issues made for a rushed and superficial experience.

A rollicking, rambunctious tale of the fight-your-way-to-the-top variety, with only a few characters and a mission from the get-go, I dug this, especially for its take on energy themes. They aren't explored, really, but it's a fun way to tie it all together in a screwball dystopia. It could've been longer or deeper, sure, but the pacing was pretty hard to beat.

This smart, funny, fast paced, sci-fi, thriller, turns, corporate enthusiasm on his head. When IT support person, Doyle (foil, boil ect )is just trying to get a promotion, she finds herself embroiled in a fight for domination over the world‘s energy sources. Her can do spirit wins the day, along with some killer, robots, AI and cloned. hardly a masterpiece, but has enough to say, and it’s pointing enough. And certainly a great read.
